This is a weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that have gone on in and around my apartment complex and in my neighborhood in the past 27 years that I've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 27 years here in a weekly blog post.
Life Update:
Once again, my daughter got a referral from her doctor's office to physical therapy this time and when she called them, they told her they don't take her insurance. The referral department are not doing their job. How hard is it to make sure they take her insurance? The marijuana edible drinks are helping my daughter with the pain she's having. Good thing too since she hasn't been able to see pain management yet. I'm not asking for too much, just do your damn job. She's still waiting to see if the weekly infusions will be given a pre-authorization or not.
My back is still painful. At least I'm not having the shooting nerve pain down the back of my leg anymore. I'm having to use one of my crutches to walk around.

I made this meme when I spotted this pigeon eating on a chicken bone.

I received an email that went out to all residents at my apartment complex. New rules for dogs.
Specifically," Dogs are not allowed to URINATE anywhere on the property, including the rocks by the sidewalk." That's never been in the lease before. I haven't signed a new lease yet so I have no idea if it's in the new one.
And there's still a $600 fine for letting guests brings their pets into your apartment. That is in the lease. These people are crazy.
If the manager doesn't like dogs, just make it a dog free apartment complex for all new residents.
General Property & Lease Rules
No animals are allowed on the premises or property — even temporarily — unless specifically authorized in writing by the Owner or Management.
This includes animals belonging to guests.
Approved pets are only those listed on your Lease Agreement.
Unapproved animals are considered a lease violation and may result in fines, lease penalties, or possible eviction.
Dogs must be taken completely off the property to urinate and defecate. Pets are not permitted to relieve themselves in any on-site areas, including rocked areas, landscaped sections, or turf.
Under Clark County Code § 10.36.020 – Solid Waste Excretion, it is unlawful for a pet owner to allow an animal to defecate on public property, common areas, or another person’s property unless the waste is promptly removed. The code specifically includes common areas of apartment complexes and multiple dwellings.

Summer is here.
The high this week was 104F/40C
The low this week was 70F/21C
So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
Ugh. The apartment I lived in before this place switched from a nice family owned building to a nasty management company. They took away my parking space because I was in a studio! Well, they really wanted to force tenants out (or annoy them out) so they could remodel and charge a lot more. It worked. Hope that’s not happening with you 🙁
ReplyDeleteOh that sounds awful.
DeleteI have to say I do agree with restrictions on dogs peeing on public areas. There's dog pee all over our local sidewalks and it looks unsightly apart from anything else. But a $600 fine for allowing a dog into your apartment? That's really ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteHow is someone supposed to walk the dog off the property without the dog peeing on the rocks because it's a good walk.
DeleteSo let me get this straight, you're supposed to pick up and carry or cage your dog and take it far away so that it can go potty! Maybe what needs to happen is to take away the bathroom in the office of the superintendent, and tell them when they have to go potty they're going to have to drive all the way home and hope they can hold it.
ReplyDeleteYeah how am I going to get him off the property without him peeing on the property.
DeleteThat is a bit extreme. Ironic that they want to control where dogs pee but not the homeless people in the area...
ReplyDeleteYeah exactly.
DeleteHow can you stop dogs from doing that?
ReplyDeleteYou can't.
DeleteLOL, I agree with Alex above. And a fine for guests' pets? So...if you have a relative or friend visiting, they're supposed to leave their animal at home?
ReplyDeleteThe medical stuff sounds like a neverending nightmare. They take their sweet times giving you referrals, and then they aren't even the right ones.
Yeah, they aren't supposed to rbing their dog if they visit.
DeleteI agree these are extreme rules, nobody likes stinky dog pee or poop, just follow the rules, pick it up and dispose of it.
ReplyDeleteif everyone was sensible and kept the area clean, you wouldn't need all those rules.
I think the new manager just doesn't like dogs and doesn't want them here.
DeleteMy insurance has a website that lists all the preferred physicians. Can you daughter show her doctor the list and have them refer to one of those offices?
ReplyDeleteShe called her insurance company and asked for the phone numbers for the places that take her insurance since the website wasn't working.
DeleteThat's so frustrating that your daughter got a referral somewhere that won't take her insurance. You'd think they could figure that out. And all that stuff about your pets...could they be more finicky? What a joke.
ReplyDeleteThey should have called the place they were giving the referral for and made sure they take her insurance.
DeleteI hope the medical world gets their act together and things get worked out soon. Hey, you should gather up the dog poop and send it via UPS to the new owners corporate address. They are being shitheads so might as well replenish their supply.
ReplyDeletelmao That's an idea.
DeleteWhere is the dog supposed to pee, then? Some regulations make no sense. Sorry your daughter's medical issues aren't being addressed. Great health care system we haven't got.
ReplyDeleteThey want them to walk way off property and pee there.
DeleteI love pigeons, dear Mary! They will eat almost anything they find. Seagulls as well!
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteYou sure have your trials and tribulations.
ReplyDeleteYou are a survivor.
I feel badly for your daughter, as well. Good thing she has you to advocate for her!
Thank you.
DeleteI hope your daughter gets some useful referrals soon!
ReplyDeleteI hope so too.
DeleteHope they get your daughter's medical care sorted! Those new rules are ridiculous for dog owners! Hope your back pain continues to improve.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteHoly crap, we're delicious.
ReplyDeleteThat made me laugh out loud.
LOL I'm glad it made you laugh.
DeleteLove the meme :) Mary.
ReplyDeleteGetting around on a crutch isn't the best but better than two crutches, good luck with it.
Your daughter - hope she gets to see the appropriate people real soon.
Gosh the rules with dogs! Good luck with it.
Thank you.
DeleteI'd love to see how the rules about dogs relieving themselves will be applied - obviously drawn up by someone who doesn't have or doesn't like dogs.
ReplyDeleteI think the manager just doesn't want dogs here.
Deletethose are a lot of dog rules! Ours need to be leased and you need to pick up but we have lots of grass. Healthcare is broken!!
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteI really hope they help your daughter soon. Sending hugs.
ReplyDeleteOMG seriously a fine for bringing a pet to visit you? Crazy!
Yes, they will fine you for that. But they haven't been enforcing the no dogs over 40lbs rule. There are huge dogs here and no one says a thing about that.
DeleteSome of these terms To see more ridiculous. I wouldn’t want to talk peeing or pooping on my property either, but it appears that homeless people starting dumpster fires are totally fine, in management’s view. About your daughter our healthcare system is so so broken. It is just where you are either it’s everywhere. Not that is any consolation to you Or your daughter. Living with constant chronic pain is a terrible thing, especially when he can’t get any medical help for it
ReplyDeleteForgot to sign my name to the previous comment.Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
DeleteIt's so crazy. Her doctors office doesn't seem to know what they're doing at all.
DeleteHooray for the marijuana, ya two should plant some in your window, god knows you need to start taking it as well for your numerous pains, dear. Maybe you can apply cannabis oil onto your back, maybe it helps that way as well, it is sold freely here.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter had some cannabis lotion I tried, did nothing for my back.
DeleteApartment management and HOAs suck. I hope your daughter can see someone soon. Hoping your x-rays give you answers.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteHope your daughter can get a referral that takes her insurance. Crazy dog rules especially if someone is visiting. Hope you keep improving.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteThose are stupid rules, where is a dog supposed to go if not on the apartment property or public property?
ReplyDeleteI can understand then saying pick up the poop but to say don't let them pee on the property? Am I supposed to pick him up and carry him off property so he doesn't pee here. Not gonna happen.
DeleteLol that pidgeon
ReplyDelete🤣🤣🤣
Delete*blinks* ummmm... I just have no words about that animal policy.
ReplyDeleteI know. They're crazy.
DeleteI hope your daughter gets an appointment with pain management soon. 😐
ReplyDeleteI hope so too.
